Perlmutter is traveling to Japan with the Greatest Generations Foundation and the students are from Ohio State University. He will post photos and updates from the trip next week on his Facebook page.

The Greatest Generations Foundation is sponsoring the program to return the group of veterans to the battlefields where they fought in the Pacific and to commemorate the 67th Anniversary of the historic battle of Iwo Jima where many of them served. Perlmutter is traveling with Iowa Democrat Rep. Bruce Braley.

It’s Perlmutter’s second trip. Two years ago, he helped 12 Colorado WWII Veterans reach Iwo Jima for the 65th Anniversary after they were stranded in Okinawa when their plane to Iwo Jima was suddenly cancelled.

“The opportunity to travel with these veterans as they return one final time to the battlefields where they served is an honor,” he said, in a statement. “Their determination, courage and resilience is a lesson for all of us that we can do anything if we set our minds to it.”
